Now I am not against other people have a festive christmas, but why do I have to cue for hours to get in and out of asda car park. The store is besieged with people stocking up for what is only one day of closure, and what do people do with all that bread.
there is also the christmas card game, the having to quickely send one back to someone you didnt sent one to in the first round but they sent you one, but telling them you have only just sent them all out.
If you have kids then it is a magical time, and I want you to enjoy the period, just keep me out of it. Most people come down to earth when they look at the credit card bill, or the bank balance (it is not so festive then)

Myself, I dont want my bells to be jingling, or my ding dong merily on high
I have to go for a lie down now, all the blood has rushed to my head, so i'm of to a darkened room.




by the way merry christmas
Is there space in that darkened room for a little one........I promise to behave and be very very quiet.

I can't wait for it all to be over with.......the wrapping paper recycled, the baubles put away, the lights neatly boxed away and the pine needles swept up.........and normal service resumed in the shops.

Yes, Merry Christmas and a happy thingy.
